Over two-thirds of Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) accountable care organizations (ACOs) would qualify as high-revenue organizations under the new Pathways to Success initiative, a recent Leavitt Partners analysis uncovered.
Pathways to Success will overhaul and replace the MSSP in July 2019.
“As ACOs consider entering the MSSP under the new Pathways rule, they must recognize the strong possibility that they will end up being designated high revenue under Pathways and be required to assume downside risk more quickly,” David Muhlestein, Chief Research Officer for Leavitt Partners, stated in the press release. “Careful analysis will allow ACO leaders to understand their situation and respond accordingly.”
